Yesterday (Sept 8) was Boo's 2yr Ampuversary! Really?! Two years!? (I keep re-doing the math in my head)! Sure each day brings it's own set of new worries and concerns, but each day we say a prayer and choose to focus instead on love, hope, and joy!
AND...in a couple of days Boo's human companions celebrate their 10th Anniversary! (Yes, if you do that math, you'll discover that we were married just days after the 9/11 attacks)! Turns out, in the midst of crisis and tragedy, we've been choosing love, hope, and joy all along!
Double Anniversaries, Double digits, Quadruple Blessings! Treats for everyone!
Boo became a Tripawd Warrior Princess on Sept 8, 2009. She crossed over the Rainbow Bridge 2.7 years later on April 29, 2012. Run free Angel Boo!
That is pawsome news! Treats for everyone in honor of Boo & pawrents...how about posting a recent picture of Boo?
Sending you lots of golden hugs...
Cathy

charon & gayle
Life is good, so very, very good!!! Gayle enjoyed each and every moment of each and every wonderful day (naps included). She left this world December 12, 2011 – off on a new adventure.
Love Never Ends
I can never get that tree icon to work! Probably because none of Boo's pic are posted anywhere so...they have no url. I'll try to get my techy hubby on here to post of few! In the meantime - I have updated Boo's Avatar to a pic taken just a few weeks ago!
Thanks so much for celebrating with us!

Holy cow! That's amazing and fantastic for all of you! Boo, you are a true tripawd hero! I hope you get something really extra-special, like a dead fish to roll in or maybe a rabbit ! And congratulations to your folks for choosing the good stuff at every turn.
Shari and Dakota
From abandoned puppy to Tripawd Warrior Dude, Dakota became one of the 2011 February Furballs due to STS. Our incredibly sweet friend lived with grace and dignity till he impulsively raced over the Bridge on 12-15-12.
Dakota's thoughtful and erudite blog is at http://shari.tr.....pawds.com/
Two years is double awesome!
Happy Ampuversary!!
Happy Anniversary!!
Love, hope and joy are good things to focus on.
Karen and the pugapalooza
That's wonderful Boo! Two years is amazing !
Comet - 1999 to 2011
She departed us unexpectedly January 23, 2011 at the age of 12 1/2.
She was born with a deformed front leg and a tripawd all of her life.
congrats on 2 years Boo!
And hooray for the 10 year anniversary as well!
Focusing on the love is really always the best we can do. Seems like you have that figured out.
all the best.
Jackie, Abby's mom
Abby: Aug 1, 2009 – Jan 10, 2012. Our beautiful rescue pup lived LARGE with osteosarcoma for 15 months – half her way-too-short life. I think our "halflistic" approach (mixing traditional meds + supplements) helped her thrive. (PM me for details. I'm happy to help.) She had lung mets for over a year. They took her from us in the end, but they cannot take her spirit! She will live forever in our hearts. She loved the beach and giving kisses and going to In-N-Out for a Flying Dutchman. Tripawds blog, and a more detailed blog here. Please also check out my novel, What the Dog Ate. Now also in paperback! Purchase it at Amazon via Tripawds and help support Tripawds!
Too cool - love, hope and joy. Cheered me right up!

Hoppy ampuversary from Gerry and Biggie and their people! 
Gerry has been a tripawd since 12/16/2009.
He was a shelter dog with a mysterious past and an irrepairable knee injury.
